Who is using AI Controller (AC Infinity) and how?

Just picked this up to replace my standard controller 69. Mainly for the extra 4 ports. Still running everything manually, as I like dialing things in perfect. Not quite ready to let the AI handle everything. I tried and my temps were a bit low for the stage. Please share if your using AI controller and how you have it set up.

I got mine for the extra ports too and still set everything manually. I think they should spend more time perfecting the AI then releasing some of their other new products. One thing I don't like is that I don't have full use of all of the features of the circulation fans outside of AI. Turns out I didn't need the extra ports as none of my fans are even plugged into the controller.

I ran into some of the same issues with AI. For instance I have three circulation fans labled top, middle, and bottom. I prefer them to use a controller port each for the flexibility of setting intensity and duration. Those same fans getting a port was the first sacrifice juggling only having 4 ports on the standard controller 69. When I set the AI, the temp dropped to 75 from the 77 I prefer in early weeks. AI took control of the fans and had them up to 6, when I prefer the gentlest breeze of 1 or 2 on seedlings. I definitley didn’t give the AI control of the light either as I’m sure it will start at their suggested 40% which will bake seedlings with the EVO fixture. It was ok to take control of the humidifier and had it at 65%, but once again I can set that manually. So yea AI has been a mixed bag, love the flexibility, but they gotta fine tune it more. The design of internal and external temperature sensors on the AI controller is superior at regulating your setup more precisely, though.

Interesting info. "In for a penny in for a pound".

40% could be OK but it depends on the hang height, right?

Interesting about the fans. 6/10 on seedlings? Not a chance!
